SAFETY DEVICE FOR COIN-RECEPTACLES.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Dec. 10, 1907.

Application filed February 27,1907- Serial No. 3596.68.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN N UTRY, a citizen of the United States,residing in Brooklyn, county of Kings, State of New York, have inventeda new and useful Safety Device for Coin-Receptacles, of which thefollowing is a specification.

The object of this invention is to prevent the abstraction of cointhrough the entrance slot of money box, by a simple and efficientdevice.

In the accompanying drawing forming part of this specification; Figure lis a perspective view. Fig. 2 is a cross section, normal. Fig. 3 is across section, width coin entering. Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section.

Like figures refer to like parts. I v

1 is a portion of coin box, 2 is a bent piece of metal having flattenedportion 3, and curved members 4, and having perforations into which pins5 enter, the pins having heads 6. There is a slot 8 in the box and acorresponding slot in piece 2, the metal forced from the box is presseddown through the slot in 2 and bent so as to secure piece 2 to box 1 asshown at 7. The form of piece 2 is such as to cause the pins to crosseach other when in normal position and the perforations to allow thepins to move freely and to part when a coin enters at 9 in Fig. 3. Theedges 4 of the piece 2 touches the metal of the box so as to prevent thepins from moving out of the perforations.

The action of this device is such that in any position the pins tend tohang, fall, or lie across the entrance slot and prevent the exit ofcoin.

Having described my invention what I claim and desire to secure byLetters Patent 1s:

1. In a coin receptacle having a slot for the entrance of coin, a numberof headed pins loosely held by the heads in perforations, in proximityto the coin slot, the pins swinging free so that the points tend tocross the coin slot, substantially as shown.

. 2. In a coin receptacle having a slot for the entrance of coin, anattachment on the inside of the receptacle, the attachment havingperforations, headed pins held in the perforations so that the points ofthe pins swing freely across the coin entrance and also swing so as toallow a coin to pass into the receptacle, substantially as shown.

3. In acoin receptacle having a slot for the entrance of coin, anattachment secured on the inside of the receptacle, having a slot oropening corresponding with the slot in the receptacle, and connected bybending the metal from the slot in the receptacle inward through theopening in the attachment, substantially as shown.

JOHN NUTRY.
